JUST IN - Putin grants Edward Snowden Russian citizenship per decree.
the Duchenne smile is among the most influential of human expressions.
It's a genuine smile that involves the muscles around the eyes.
From Healthline,
The human smile is a powerful thing. To elevate mood, inspire empathy, or calm a fast-beating heart, you don’t need a gleaming row of perfect pearly whites. One YouTube baby-laugh video is enough to demonstrate that even an entirely toothless smile is a wonder-worker.
Researchers who study the effects of human smiles know that the Duchenne smile is among the most influential of human expressions.
A Duchenne smile is the one that reaches your eyes, making the corners wrinkle up with crow’s feet. It’s the smile most of us recognize as the most authentic expression of happiness.
Non-Duchenne smiles shouldn’t necessarily be considered “fake,” however. A more accurate way of describing them might be “polite.”
Polite smiles can communicate social pleasantness, and they can even signal discreet
"Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer." And so here we are . . .
This is truly prophetic stuff. This isn’t merely political, it is apostolic. And quoting Chesterton at the end is magnificent.

"Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer." She adds, "That line has arrived. We are ready." Viva, Italy!! Thank you, Giorgia Meloni. We've been grieving for years for this message. The church didn't bring it. Americans, too, nowhere to be found. It took a woman, a Christian woman from Italy.
U.S. Housing Due for a Correction?
Thank you to Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that the US housing market would “probably” go through a “correction” period. It is of no surprise as home prices were steadily rising from 2020 until recently after mortgage rates rose and many were simply priced out of the market. The supply chain shortages continue to present a problem for builders. Investors with cash were able to outbid other buyers, and houses lasted less than a week on the market before being sold for above asking. Clearly, this is unsustainable in the long term.
The great American dream of owning a home with a white picket fence sharply rose during World War II thanks to suburbs expanding and the GI bill that assisted service members in purchasing real estate. Homeownership during this time jumped to 65% from the Great Depression period. Surprisingly, home ownership actually increased during the Great Depression as well by 3.7% to 4%. Mind you, cultural dynamics were different back then. Women could not even open their own bank accounts. Living at home was common until marriage for both men and women, multi-family homes were more common, and people simply lived with less. The playing field is completely different today.
In 2021, the real estate industry accounted for 17% of GDP in the US. Investors, landlords, and house flippers did well during this housing boom, naturally. The average American suffered as rental prices are in line with monthly mortgage payments, but obtaining a house remains difficult for the middle class. Those with fixed low rates are not likely to sell. Shelter composes the majority of our household expenses, and countless people who did purchase at the height feel house rich but cash poor. The Fed is focusing on the demand side since it cannot control supply.
The Only American Equivalent is Florida's Ron DeSantis, and Yet He Can't Hold a Candle to Meloni's Light
It’s become so bad the general public is waking up to (((financial speculators)) https://t.co/pIziv8KvEz
